Metropolitan Home, The High Museum, (context), and MA present an informative and entertaining discussion about the rising interest and acceptance of the detailoriented, intellectual and often-times emotional appeal achieved by combining craft values and design. Design objects by Hella Jongerius, Tom Dixon and Marcel Wanders will be on exhibit as part of the talk that promises to expose design's inner soul.
